GRINDON CHURCH COMMUNITY PROJECT

Grindon Church Community Project is a charity which supports residents of Grindon and surrounding areas, of all or no faith to engage with their community, find support when in need, engage in creative and physical activities, and to volunteer. We are based in a building with two fully accessible halls and community gardens which include orchards and vegetable plots.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
